As a reminder, the six factors that go into this metric, listed in order of importance. (Unless otherwise noted, more is better).
- % of Points NOT Scored Via Off TD
- Inconsistency
- Luck (Lucky and Unlucky, More Deviation is Better)
- Excitement Index
- Total TO Rate (Off + Def)
- Preseason Expectations (Lower is Better)
Vanilla 3 (Bottom of the rankings)
- Toledo
- Oregon
- UTSA
Please note: I made a calculation error in the week 13 polls which was corrected this week, so the teams appear to have moved more than they necessarily should have.
Additionally, after each monthly Sicko poll is released, I slightly reweight the factors to better reflect how people actually vote and incorporate that into a long-term running average. This ranking is computer only and does not consider any sort of recent news or events off the football field that may impact people’s perception of sicko teams, and as a result I believe it does a pretty damn good job at ranking sicko teams based only on their play. Next year I may incorporate some sort of bias factor that can help identify teams which are regularly over or under-rated by teams (in terms of sicko-ness), which could help build in a degree of “lore” into the rankings.
